| Other | Conference Theme: Economic theology has emerged as a new way of analyzing governance structures, mental dispositions and value dimensions regarding finance, work, corporate bureaucracy, markets and entrepreneurs in advanced capitalist societies. Interpreting economic modernity through the lens of theological concepts stands in the intellectual tradition of key social scientists and philosophers such as Max Weber, Ernst Troeltsch, Émile Durkheim, Walter Benjamin, Carl Schmitt, Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben. Today, economic theologians study both the (quasi-)religious practices that underlie contemporary forms of economic organization as well as the theological genealogy of key concepts that are needed to shape these forms, such as gift, debt, choice, sovereignty, commodity, corporation, exception, glory, economy (oikos), office, and providence.<br/>At the conference, world-leading researchers will share their insights into the theological nature of selected economic phenomena, including money, profit, wealth, work/vocation, consumer choice, government, corporation, property, management, leadership and creativity. A special section of the conference will be solely devoted to the economic theologies of Christianity, Islam and Judaism in comparative perspective, and to the economic theologies of major thinkers, including Martin Luther, Adam Smith, and John Maynard Keynes. |
